Be able to explain how nuclear fission is used in power stations
Host: Jamie (BSc (Hons), MSc, PGCE) is a Science teacher who is passionate about breaking down complex topics into digestible bites for students.Nuclear Fission is an important topic in Physics at GCSE or equivalent level.
In this class, students will cover the use and conditions necessary to generate electrical energy from nuclear fission, including describing the fission reaction, the nuclear reactor and the control of energy release in fission.
This is a useful class as revision of the topic if students have already studied Nuclear Fission or as a class to get ahead or in place of any lost learning.
